NCA Parking Fees

Temporary vehicles (rented or loaned) are required to have a temporary permit. These permits are available at the Community Center with proper documentation. Students selling or acquiring a vehicle are eligible for a temporary vehicle permit at a cost of $5 for two weeks, for a maximum of 30 days.

Guest permits are available at the Community Center for up to ten consecutive days at a cost of $1 per day. License plate numbers are required. Guest permits should be hung from the rear view mirror. Families may have a guest for up to 4 weeks.

Replacement permits are available for residents selling old vehicles or acquiring new ones. If the old permit is returned, the cost of the replacement permit is $5. If the old permit is not returned, the cost of the replacement permit is the full cost of an annual standard permit fee.

Motorcycles may park without charge or permit in areas designated "Motorcycles Only". If parked in a regular automobile space, rules for regular vehicles apply.

University Housing's surface parking lots are for use by permit holders, only for the duration of their current Housing contract. Parking is allowed in designated spaces only. Vehicles must be maintained in good working order while parked in a University Housing lot. The Department of Public Safety patrols all U Housing parking areas and may ticket any vehicle that appears to be abandoned.

University ordinance indicates that a vehicle should not remain in the same parking spot for more than 48 hours. Any vehicle that has not been moved in over 48 hours is subject to ticketing and may be impounded as abandoned.

All permits must be attached to the interior lower left (driver's side) corner of the front windshield and must be in plain view at all times.

The Department of Public Safety is responsible for enforcement of the University ordinance dealing with on-campus parking. Parking or driving vehicles off roadways or on sidewalks or grass is strictly prohibited. Violators are subject to vehicle impoundment and will be held responsible for any damages incurred.

All vehicles must be currently registered according to appropriate State law and properly display license and license tabs. In addition, residents are required by law to maintain insurance coverage on any vehicle parking in University Housing parking lots. The University and University Housing assume no liability for theft, damage or other loss to a vehicle parking in University-owned and operated parking lots.

Selling your permit(s) to other people, duplicating your permit, or obtaining a permit for a vehicle not owned or operated exclusively by you is a contract violation and could result in loss of parking privileges or contract termination.

Residents violating any of the above stated policies or any other policies outlined in Community Living at Michigan may face penalties including but not limited to loss of parking privileges without reimbursement and/or criminal penalties where applicable.
